  4. Can you replace the organic sugar with something like coconut sugar, maple syrup or honey? If so, what ratio would you use?

  6. I made these and they are great! I love them! It is like eating chewy oatmeal in muffin form.

    I also froze them. I reheated by defrosting for 45 seconds and 30 seconds cook.. really nice!

    Tip: Mixing the wet ingredients with the dry in the tin itself is very difficult. The first few looked flat and messy once cooked.

    For the rest of the batch I took the portioned amounts of dry and mixed the wet in a small bowl and then placed it back in the tin. This process made them rise a bit, giving a round top.

    Thanks for the recipe! I want to try it with blackberries or raspberries.. do you thin that would work?
